Single-session Bible study on service. 3 pages.

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace (1 Peter 4:10).

Our Bible study is based on the Scripture passage describing a time when Jesus visited two of His closest friends, Mary and Martha. One of the women became flustered by the choices her sister made, and she took her complaint to Jesus. … As we study Jesus’ answer to the disgruntled sister, let’s examine how Christ desires us to serve Him.
